17．Most of us have read Cinderella，which is a story about a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams．Some might not want to admit it，but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart-we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity （默默無聞）．
Mary Santiago has that secret dream，too．Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story，a film set in a US high school．
Mary is shy but loves to dance．Compared with other girls，she is invisible．However，her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer，Joey Parker，appears．
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not-kind，handsome and desirable．Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball．They meet and fall in love with each other．But when Mary has to rush back home，she leaves behind her MP3player，which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams．Of course，there is a wicked stepmother，who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies．Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school．Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary，even if that means embarrassing her．
The story，though it mostly follows Cinderella，does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale．Refreshingly，the film，unlike many high school films，does not focus on looks，although the actors are all beautiful．There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies．

分析 本文寫的是根據(jù)灰姑娘的童話故事改編成電影的一段采訪內(nèi)容．
解答 32．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子：but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart-we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity．但是每個(gè)人心中都隱藏著灰姑娘，我們都希望在一段時(shí)間的默默無聞之后，我們能取得認(rèn)可或成功．讓讀者產(chǎn)生心靈的共鳴，從而產(chǎn)生興趣，所以答案選C．
33．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子The story，though it mostly follows Cinderella，does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale這個(gè)故事，雖然它主要遵循灰姑娘，確實(shí)添加了一些現(xiàn)代的和的經(jīng)典童話，可見這個(gè)電影是以灰姑娘為基礎(chǔ)的改變故事，Amber Wilkinson的話正是體現(xiàn)了這些內(nèi)容，所以答案選D．
34．D 主旨大意題．縱觀全文本文寫的是一個(gè)電影的采訪，先介紹了故事的簡單情節(jié)，然后介紹電影的拍攝細(xì)節(jié)和故事的改編情況，所以答案選D．

點(diǎn)評 故事類文章在閱讀過程中，我們一直在某個(gè)線索的引導(dǎo)下，隨著作者的思路去了解一個(gè)故事或一件事情的始末，因此會感到比較輕松．命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關(guān)系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力． 閱讀故事類文章時(shí)，應(yīng)注意把握主旨大意，弄清主要情節(jié)，立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖，根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開合理的想象，從而達(dá)到解題的目的．
